I'm finally ready to start Christmas cards for friends and came up with a design that uses the same set, but each can be different... does that make sense? Am I the only one who cares that every card is different? Probably!
Anywho... while searching for a different stencil these pumpkins from The Ton fell out from their packaging... light bulb moment!! Pause the Christmas cards - it's time for a pumpkin card for Double D's October 2024 Pumpkin, pumpkin challenge!
My neighbor has one of those stacks of pumpkins on her front porch - you know the ones, right? This little Concord & 9th die set wanted in on that stacking action:
She's much better at it than I am! and it was simple surgery to remove the star
from her fingertips! I'm already imagining what else she could hold!
Looking at this photo, I wish I had taken the time to fussy-cut those white
edges from my pumpkins... next time!
Supporting products:
W&W Audrey panel cut from that pretty plaid paper from the DD girls - so is her sleeve, and those little LF leaves!
I found a bit of wood veneer paper for the 'tabletop' and the sentiment
is one from PTI's Just Sentiments: Spooky stamp set.
Today's nails - a rich russet in honor of the season!
lol
Off it goes to the DD gallery - thanks for the wonderful inspiration, Dar & Diane!

What a wonderful fall card! I love the arm/hand holding the pumpkin. Reminds me of the Christmas Grinch. The stack of pumpkins is grand. I have a stack on my front porch. Love the pretty plaid papers too. Thanks for sharing at the Double D "Pumpkin, Pumpkin" Challenge.
Audrey is seeing a lot of action and I'm sure will see lots more. She really is very versatile! Love her pumpkin stack and a perfect sentiment to go with it!
I don't think your stacked pumpkins are wonky at all Michele, and I sure wouldn't mind having them sitting on my front porch! Looks like Audrey is feeling festive and in the Fall spirit of things and is pleased with her trio of pumpkins too! LOVE her plaid shirt and the plaid background too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Oh you clever girl, this is oodles of fun! Love the plaid and bits of hay peeking out. Call me crazy, but I could see Audrey plugging her nose saying P...U...!!! HA!!!
CUUUUTE! Love your surgery, and the stack of pumpkins is so fun with this hand! And only you offer up the color of nail polish, everyone has to ask that JM gal what color she uses - lol
Fabulous card, Michele. Love the arm in all its cozy fall glory. The pumpkins are stacked beautifully. So glad you were inspired!
So cute and out of the box! I am obsessed with my MFT hands. I have a girlfriend who makes jewelry so I always add some bling to make a bracelet. Beautiful card.
Oh my goodness ... this is SO clever and just awesome!!! LOVE her holding the pumpkins and they are just fine with the white around ... makes them stand out one from the other and you used that plaid paper pack PERFECT! What a fun & fabulous card ... LOVE IT!! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! OH and please feel free to share this amazingly inspiring card with us over on our Stencil Fun challenge blog too!! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

This hand belongs to one busy gal! She'll see you through the seasons with fashion and flair. Love the stack of pumpkins against the gentle plaid. I'm glad they slipped out and led you to a card of their own so we could all enjoy it at Double D. Thanks, Michele!
With or without the white around the pumpkins, this is perfect! Clever surgery to remove the star and I LOVE her russet colored nails!
I need that hand !!! Not sure if I will be any good at the surgery though. The pumpkins are fine as is although I'm not a big fan of white borders around anything I agree with Darlene also I can't fussy cut to save my life. Beautiful card as always.

You are certainly putting this hand to work my friend, it's fabulous!!
Oh, you are just too clever! You know how much I love those dies... using them this way is just genius!!
I love what you've done here, Michele. I'm sure you will find other creative ways to use that hand.
There's that hand model again - I love that die!
